D/P has brought a lot of new attacks into nearly every pokemons movepool. But which ones are useable in compedative play? I'm not sure myself on a few so I was hoping some of you guys could answer that for me...

First off, Brine. On a Mirror Coating Blastiose could this move replace surf? If HP is low enough Torrent kicks in + STAB this move sounds quite powerful.

Another move that is leaving me with question marks is Worry Seed. When would this move be useable and by who? or is just a waste of space on a moveset.

How does Trump Card work and would it have a place on say Glaceon's move set to give it another Speacial Attack or should I just forget about it?

I'd appreciate any feedback, and thanks in advance.
 
Forget about Trump Card
Blastoise is too slow to use Brine
Worry Seed has its uses, for example when the foe is trying to rest, you use Worry Seed so he/she can't
 
Brine-- Surf actually still outclasses it and on Blastoise you can even use waterfall and still be better than brine. I think the usual set is something like
-Surf/waterfall
-ice Beam/avalanche/earthquake
-yawn
-rapid spin

Worry Seed only really has use in double battles with something like regigigas and slaking as a way to get rid of their bad abilities.

trump card's power increase as the pp of the move gets lower with like 120 power at 1pp if i remember correctly (pp ups only hinder the move so don't use em). Glaceon i don't think could pull it off, as a matter of fact, none of em really can from what i've seen and those that could could make better use of return even though it is physical.

According to the people at Smogon, it has roughly 190 BP at 1 PP.
